I have the Cottonwood 10 x 10 (not the XLT, but essentially the same).

Took it camping this past weekend in the dunes at Assateague Island National Seashore. We knew there was a chance of "scatter t-storms" but weren't going to let the weathermen ruin the weekend.

Long story short, first time setup was challenging, but it was dark and windy. When the wind really started to pick up, we made sure our guylines were perfectly anchored. I backed up my pole stakes with a few sand anchors too.

This 10x10 road out the first night without breaking a sweat, and then stood up to a heavy rainstorm with nervously strong gusts of wind for a few hours the following day. Other shelters around us were damaged, but not ours. Nothing moved, no bend poles, no worries!
